LONDON, AUG. 8. Cojprr** Hevolutiok d* Spain. Extract (if a letter from St. James fGallficiaJ dated , July We are at this moment surrounded by war; the Counter-revolution has broken out In the greatest force. A Junta, which styles itself Apostolic, has assembled on the borders of the ?v ? , . ^ #? , ? . ?? Minho, which separates Portugal, from Gallicia. All persons of note, who bad . taken refuge in Portugal from the vexations to which Jtapy were subjected in consequence of the Revolution, hasten from all quarter* to join this Junta. The Duke *le l'lnfanfodo was at Valencia three days ago, and would pass ihe Min ho yesterday to put himself at the head of tht Insurgents. Three thousand armed peasants thiJP morn ing marched upon Oreuse, and the constituted authorities fled ; another -corps of Insurgents marched from the neighbourhood of Corunna, along the sea, poast, and occupies the penin sula of Bt. Adrian. We expect every moment torn them' within our waller* It k said, that the Apostolic Junta has established itself at Tyy, The rallying cry of this army i? " God and the Kingf and its avow ed aim is to preserve the ancient li berties of the Spanish Monarchy., It is remarked, that the peasant) are armed with excellent ^English muskets, and that they are all ani mated with great enthusiasm. A great portion of the regiment of the Guides joined them at iiiza, " On receiving information of this movement, the Junta of Corunna declared itself permanent, and all jKKsible military measures have been taken. The immediate arrival here, has been announced to us, of Colo uel Bspinosa, with the battalions of Arragon and Castile9 and the mn riue division, which is stationed at Muja. Our Archbishop has receiv ed orders to reoair instantly to Co runna ; it is said at this moment, thai after a somewhat vigorous conflict ou the Minho, nearly the whole of the regiment of Pontevedra passed ovei to the luburgints? i 4( F. S. It in annonnctd, that in \rv comae of* yesterday, after some 1 1 j ? skirmishing, ihe Battalion of surges was put io flight, and that a? Insurgents bavr entered Orense. i his requires confirmation. The confusion which prevails here at this moment will not permit of my col lecting sufficient information. What is certain is, that the militia of Cor nnua, mustered in haste to the num ber of 1100, have refused to take part against the Insurgents, and that the Junta is in a stale of consterna tion." JJAPLES, JULY 20, 4( Prince Can at i, Marat's Amba? sador at Vienna, in 1812 and 1813, and afterwards our accredited Minis ter at the Congress of Vienna, has been charged with ail extraordinary mission to the Austrian Court ; he set out on his route the day before yesterday. ?* Au embargo was, in the first in stance, laid upon all the vessels in this port ; hut the English Minister declared, that he should he o- , bliged to consider the measure as a ] declaration of war, unless the ves- j sels of his nation were exempted ; j an. order was instantly issued to that effect " It is much doubted whether the Sicilians will suffer themselves to be drawn into the violent innovations, w hich have been dictated in Naples by an insubordinate soldiery* In telligence has reached us from Paler mo down to the 7^ instant^ no movements had taken place $ they knew the fir&t events of the capital, and waited further accounts." PARIS, JULY 26. Prince Carinti, Major (ieneral in the service of the two Sicilies, ar rived here on the 23d inst. charged with an extraordinary mission. " Nothing is now talked of but ati importaut determination, said to be taken by our Government on the-sub jest of the revolution in Naples. As this relates to the secret deliberations of the Council, it may be conceived, that few persons can know the seal truth; every body, however con curs in opinion, that *n extraordi nary' resolution has been resolved s0n ' since the arrival of Prince de Caxiati in the quality of ambassador from Naples. 1 r ?- .ijs: - w 1 CAMDEN. ' . i i THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER ?8, l6SOy 'l _ 1 ' ? ? ? - ? -? To the Editor qf the Camden Gazette ? ' J . 8^? rejoinder to the re ply of the Agent of the Board of ; Works, 1 shall * not descend to per sonalities~they inevitably disgrace a good cause and irretrievably betray a bad one, neither will they inter- \ rupt my course. It is stated by the Agent, that my assertion " of the hands on , the Wateree having been idle tfdCe the sickly season commen ced "is incorrect" and " inconsistent with truth;" but consistently with i/utli, 1 presume, we are told " the operations ceased early in August in consequence of fresh and subsequent sickness ? " until the orders relative to ilie road were received" tliat is to say, on or about the 1st of Septem ber; so that although, as 1 shall hereafter shew, the Legislature had provided a remedy, no orders were given in consequence, aud, in such time as to prevent any loss of time & money and a horrible waste of human lftfe;andnow,airlet me ask, when they arrived, what was the nature of these instructions ? were they couched, as they should have been (and proceed ed as they ought to have been, by an accurate survey of a professional man, paid by the state fur such purposes) in such language as this ? Having by means, of our professional agents, detei mined the best scite for a land ing for Camden at and, a road from thence to the town, you will proceed to make the Koad; and of the usual width-^any difficulties that may occur with the land owners must be acfycrsted according to the law, which gives us " power to pur* hone for (he state in fee simple such >rnds as may be necessary for the purposes contemplated by the act? Was the instruction peremptory, 1 clear, and decisive? or it con - (indent? w dH not the stale to he dr | pendent ou the disposition i?t some 1 landholders to give or wit bold theii I ground, and, when gome have given I have not others witheld ; and instead 1 of the town having ? strait and wide | road, is it not to he both narrow I and crooked ? and, what is more im portant, cannot the present or future | owners of the Boat Yard compel you I to find auorhei ; and render all tbe I expense of the road fruitless? or, I on the other hand (I allude to it mere I \y to shew the discrepancies of their I instructions) were there not given in I the earlier part of the season, orders 1 of a totally . different character ? 1 Then, at least it was so asserted, their NVateree operations were im peratively confinud to the river ; a | partial operation of the same princi ple appears to have had its effect in I tlie instructions, relative to the road. I It is either public or private? if pub I lie, tbe common provision of the Act I apply to it ? if private, no public la I bour should be put upon it. But, sir, why, with the follow ing I clause staring die Commissioners \u I the face/ and, the dreadful expeii I ence of the disease last year in Col*. I umbia, were the Men to be found I at all on the Wateree during the I " summer season " and u in the low I country." u That tbe feoard of putfc? I lie Works, shall have full power I and authority to distribute 4he time I of labouring on the respective w orks I aforesaid, in such manner as may I best lompprt with the public good I and tbe health and safety of the la? I l k Hirers in the summe r season from I the low country * and unirholeaoms I place s to other and more wholesome I situations, and employments; " had I this been attended to, tbe operations I of tbe agent on (be Wateree' would I not have " ceased early in Jlugust I owing to fresh and subsequent sick I Hess/' but ear)y in June in obedience I to the commands of tbe Legislature ; I and, many of the unfortunate crea^ I tores, flow either reposing in a I lent grave K or stalking t- hotii with { enfeebled cons titntlQPSy would have J been alive and in health; howe\er I this humane provision has been dis I regarded ? dreadful has been the I loss of human . life, and immensely I expensive will be the chargBs for I medical services. 1 shall close sir I with quoting some pertinent queries from a Charleston paper and am , pre suming enough to think it difficult for any one to give a contradictory answer to tbfcm. A WATEREE. "Hag not a vast expenseof timet been wasted in removing men from one place to another, without ever finishing any one spot completely ? Where have the works been judici* l ously laid oat and executed with promptness and energy ? Point out one single instance ; locate the spot so that the people may go and see it for themselves, as they have to pay the expense by a heavy system or taxation." tfWfrat has been done on theCon- * garee? The boatmen who ply be tween GVanby and Charleston, say that the Congaree is worse now than . it was before any work was done oq it? as before there wan a channel, | bnt now there is none. What cto the raftmen and boatmen say al)out the Edisto River ? Do they not say < that the river is now more full of snags than it was before any thing was done upon it ??~tbat the logs which had been pretended to be got out, were removed to so short a dis tance, that they all were washed in again by the freshes? What con*' nef (ion have the works on the Wa teree River with the Catawba River, the Santee River, &c. ? Let all these things be viewed by impartial people, and you will find their re port will lie, that an extravagant waste has been ihade df the public money, to little or no benefit*" Si^ch is the malignity of the fever at Savannah, that the mayor Iihs made a public request of the inhabit* ants to leave tbe city if in their puw er to do so.
